Nore1tie. in ssI.mometer..

The southern earthquakes have devel-
oped much interest in seismometers, or
instruments designed to record the ma
ture and force of the shock. Several in
genious instruments have been invented
for the purpose, some very elaborate
and others extremely simple. One of

agitation of the fluid causes wave
which shows in mark left by the oil On
the side of the glass.
Another simple device paralyzed a GER

whose presence it was introduced by a
scholarly but waggish American. 1t
consisted merely of the familiar japanese
toy of a turtle poised on point. This,

delicate instrument can at once esti-
mate the energy of the disturbance. If
the shock is slight, the turtle shakes
only little; if severe, the turtle shakes
a great deal" But the most novel seis-
mometer which the recent earthquakes

From Fat and Fiat Lom1,ar,v


The fasting match of Succi and AIer-
latti is what now amuses Paris. They
both come from the fat and flat Lom-
hardy, where the power of money to pur-
chase creature comforts and theatrical
anlIlsements is perhaps greater than any
where else i'll Europe. MerIatti is an
artist by profession and has learned to
fast because he wanted to make fasting
an art. He can equally well play the
part of a Tanner or Gargantua. There
was never perhaps a stomach so endur-
ing as his, either of hunger or of indiges-
tible food. In the last respect it is we'll
nigh a match for that of the ostrich. He
explains Eliah's long fast by indigesti-
bility of the cake baked on the Goals by
the angels. 1t was sort of ''damper. -
like what Australian miners used to eat
in the gold fever days. Merlatti is strong
in the jaw to bull dog extent. He has
those big bones and big muscles which
show out through the thin flesh of his
cheek. and which, with his prominent
cheekbones and bright, small. sharp
eyes, form as queer n physiognomy as is
usually seen. His power to scrlncfl
wainults shells and INCEST them with
gusto is remarkable. He ate two dozen
walnuts, husl5s and all, and large fat
goose, with the bones thereof, on the eve
of his fasting period. 0Ierlatti has moved
to the Grand hotel because the air in the
ROOMS where he was in the Rue Tronchett
was poisoned with the crowd that went
to see him--Chicago Herald.

The Only Way 10 Conquer Dys-

1t is perfectly prcposterous to intro
duce pepsin and other artificial solvents
into the stomach, in the expectation that
they will assist digestion by acting on
the food itself They will not. Nor is
it possible thus to overcome dyspepsia.
The only way to conquer that disorder.
and prevent the numerous diseases and
disabilities which it assuredly provokes,
is to renew the activity of gastric action
by Strengthening the stomach. Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters eradicates the most
inveuerate forms of indigestion by re-
storing vitality to the alimentary or
gans, and those which are tributary to
them The liver, the bowels, the kid

fects of that standard tonic, which pos
sesses Alternative properties that greatly
enhance its beneficial influence, and

they would not otherwise possess.

left the city during the summer months
have nearly all returned. The dry goods
stores and fancy goods emporiums have
their fall stock in. The windows are
filed with attractive articles, and
crowds of shoppers stop to admire or
criticise what they see. Many ladies
inside the bosom of their dress, but the
majority have it held in their hand or
dangling from their wrist by silk cord
or piece of ribbon. Not a few have
their watch-pockets made on the out
side of their walking jackets While
the ladies are crowding in front of the
windows it is simple and easy thing
for the pickpocket who knows his bust
ness and can size up his victim to push
and crowd in too as if he was fairly
crazy to see some particular object dis
played. But all the while he is watch
ing for an opportunity to work his
fingers into some ones pocket, or snap
a watch-chain and quietly slip through
the crowd and away before the person
who has been relieved is aware of the
loss. 1t is a singular thing, too, that
but few visitors to the city are preyed
upon by this class of criminals. The
bunco steerer attends to them, but the
New Workers who think they can take
care of whatever they have about them
are invariably the victims. The coun-
try people, and even residents of Jersey
City, Staten island and Brooklyn are ex-
ira vigilant when they shop in New
York. They seldom lose nything.
"The professional pickpocket is gener-
ally between IL and % years of age. He
always looks shabby, and a hang-dog
expression ornaments his countenance.
His clothing is bought second hand, or
stolen from some one. All these stories
about well-dressed. gentlemanly- looking
pickpocketS are nonsense. You may oc-
casionally come across an isolated case,
but the pickpocket is generally a dirty,
shiftless fellow, whose capital is his cum
ming coupled with the dexterity with
which he can slip his fingers in some
one else's pocket and abstract therefrom q
watch or pocketbopk without attracting
the attention of the rightful owner.
They travel in gangs of three or four
and some times as many as six or seven
work together. When any one of the
gang swipes timepiece or piece of jew
elry it is taken to the first place where
they know questions are not asked and
disposed of for several times less its
value. Then there is division of the
spoils and fresh onslaughts are made.
These criminals generally wind up with
a short turn before they have been many
years in the business. They live in the
slums of the city. have no ambition ex-

The work houses are by no means the
exclusive refuge of one social caste.
Hundreds of their inmates have once sat
at good mems feasts, and themselves pre-
sided at the board. All classes and all
conditions have their representatives, in
this observation-disclosures of INDECENT old
age. Over and above the special apti-
tudes for life, there is the general apti-
tude for its science as a whole, and in
this some of the gentlest and the bright
est spirits have been conspicuously
wanting through all time. They can
face the worlds task, but they can not
face the world. Mems countenances
throw them out. Some do not know
how to take their wares to market, or,
if they do seem to know it for a mo-
ment, their gains are but the accidents
of luck, and not n part of its law.

Conserving Underfed preaobsr.

DIR. w. A. Hammond, the distin-

concerning underfed clergymen. He
thinks they probably eat enough, such
